Upper Feather River Watershed 30-meter Basin Characterization Model - Monthly Historical Climate and Hydrology (ver. 2.0, August 2026)
This data release includes the revised downscaled climate inputs and hydrologic outputs from the Basin Characterization Model (BCM) version 8 (v8), described in Flint and others (2021a), in a 30 by 30-meter spatial resolution at a monthly time step from water years 1896 to 2025 for the upper Feather River watershed. This data release includes six child items: 1. 30-year summaries, 2. Model Archive, 3. Monthly BCM hydrology variables (1896-2024), 4. Monthly climate variables (1896-2024), 5. Climate inputs and BCM outputs for water year 2025, and 6. Water year summaries (1896-2025).
VERSION HISTORY:
Version 2.0: August 4, 2026; Added water year 2025 data
Revised: February 27, 2026; Data release corrected to fix error in the original model parameters
